Same shit happen with XM's struts. There is a dude in Poland who refurbishes them and during this process he welds a ring that prevents spheres from sticking out through bonnet.
Thanks for the reply. C6 have a good history of being reliable too and it's still very extravagant car. C5 there are a lot on the roads and i like them, but they are more anonymous. I found one c6 for 10k euros, which is not too bad considering it's the last big Citroen right now. It seems to be in good condition too, with just 190k km the 2,2 hdi. About the Xantia I always loved them and I wouldn't be so worried to drive it anywhere with fear of spoiling it xD But nothing beats a good BIG citro. Older ones can be very tricky to know how they are mechanically. But the C6 it's still recent and ppl at Citroen fix them still!!!
Cheers! Nice video! Was surprised to see the portuguese license plate! It says you are in the USA here! How come you have a portuguese car? :P PS: Just recently found out about the Xantia Activa suspension, hence finding this video.
the maybe you need new rear spheres,if u press back with hands its need to softly move down :) or maybe u have incorrect height from ground! if its too much up,car is more stiff if its too down car is too soft and on big road holes your suspension will move to maximum and u will get hit,because no more way to absorb it! shockabsorber will go fully in :)
exactly man , thats what i hear from rear spheres like a hit even on smaller bumps "absorber goes fully in" but when i try to test press back of car it goes pretty softly down...but hits from back are there 100% , and by the way how to fix or check incorrect height? sometimes i think my front is too high idk...can u give me ur viber so i can send u my pictures of car?
Slavisha Zvonar i dont use viber i have whatsup. My whatsup nr is +37128663449! Ok i now have to go sleep is 23:37 here now :) or se other links on my social webpages facebook instagram etc they are in front page of my channel :)
@@CarShed68 My car is 97 model Athena. Probably one strut top already broken. In my country, there is not much moisture and roads not much salty in winter. It's try to keep alive. I think so, my car have a revised strut top.
Save Your Xantia From This!!! Before it's too Late!!!

Do you have this poland guy contact info?
that method is shit... if you want better than the factory ones, contact me.
Can this happen to C5s as well?
Mine are good. I have to keep an eye on the rust though. Any recommendations on how to fight it?
Go watch a Chrisfix video on how to sand down rust. Thats how i learned it
@Three_Days_Of_Solitude it has to be welded, but for now, i sanded it down and used filler.
done i live in Australia no rust no worry's not a spec of rust in the whole car except exhaust and a bit on the brake disks
good! maybe some day it will save money! no bent bonnet and u can still drive to service,or home and repair it! :)
ive aways wonder if theres a way to mod the front suspension to go lower might pull my spare front struts out and see if they can be modified
I had this problem on my Xantia 1995
Me too....unfortunately...😢
do I buy a xantea or a C6?
c6 are but expensive
I like C5 gen2! but Xantia is more cheaper to repair and drive its verry simple if dont buy Activa version :)

yes xantia isnt a big car,thats why i waiting whenC5 gen3 will appear and gen2 prices will drop,its littlebit too expensive right now for me! :)
The xantia mk2 is the best quality that Citroën has ever built. The quality level of C5 & C6 is lower
Cheers! Nice video!
